Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:
ਸਿਮਰਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
simrat naam maneh sukh paa-ee-ai.
Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, peace of mind is found.
ਸਾਧ ਜਨਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਗਾਈਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saaDh janaa mil har jas gaa-ee-ai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Meeting the Holy Saint, sing the Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remembering the Naam, the mind finds peace.
Meet with holy people and sing the praises of the One.
Remembering what you love quietly calms the mind.
Remembering the Naam brings peace to the mind, and singing with holy people adds to it.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Simrat naam maneh sukh paa-ee-ai: remembering the Naam, the mind finds peace. SaaDh janaa mil: meeting holy people. Har jas gaa-ee-ai: singing the One's praises.
Think of humming a favorite song with friends. Your shoulders drop, and the day feels lighter.
